WASHINGTON. July 3I-Three years
ago, a. the request of 3 number Ct stock

STATE Department addressed letter TO
every United States Consul directing all
TO furnish the department with such in
formation reIstiye TO stock breeding,
dairy farming and kindred industries SIS
might be interesting to dsirY farmers and
stock breeders in the nited States. The
result Of this Investigation has las. been
issued IRON the government printing
office. 1t embraces 8 volume OF nearly
300 pages, Whicl VIII doubtless prove
Of greater value TO the million
farmers in this country than any
other work ever issued by the govern
ment. The WORK was performed under

would doubtless prove Of inestimGbl.

| Unfortunately, however, there nave been
very few f these valuable books ordered
and they will be exhausted long before the
farmers hear that they have been issued
Worse tran this il is said that the type

necessary to reset the entire work Tn

1t is interesting 10 note that this country

In 1854 the total amount imported into
Great Britain and Ireland was 2l5 $50 SIS
pounds OF this vast quantity of casein
The United States supplied 100, 3&3, go
pounds. Yet while the United States
has succeeded in Securing the British
maket for cheese it has not been
so successful with butter OF a. to:ei
of 277, 248, 832 pounds Of this product OF
the dairy, the United States furnished
only II ,23l,412 pounds, against 12+ ,925,-
lbs pounds from Holland. This country,
however, furnished the thrifty Dutch
butter merchants With upwards of g. 600
900 pounds of the Gil from which cleo
margarine is made, and this doubtless
supplied the basis on which great deal
OF the celebrated Dutch butter of London
vas founded.
